The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

I have a similar problem but mine is a failing driver's side mirror motor. If that motor fails, it will affect the other one (from what I'm told).
Try whatever sync procedure you find. If that doesn't work, you'll want to get your car scanned to see if you have codes for the mirror LIN bus.

Because I'm a broke ass, I unplugged my mirror fuse so the passenger mirror stays put.

The driver mirror motor on the LIN bus is the master motor. The passenger motor is a slave motor. BP is right and check for errors. Usually it is a bad connection on the ribbon somewhere. You can fix it with solder if you want.

While at the dealer for the air bag recall, they said I have a leak in my oil pan housing gasket. The DIY says you have to get to the control arms so you can/may want to replace them when you're there. I have 71K DD miles, no tracking. Should I replace the control arms when I'm there? The bushings were changed under CPO at around 50K miles.

Not very often I run across something I can't figure out on Realoem.com but I have this for you.

I ordered the below, but now need the piece that goes underneath it. # stumped



This piece has had a couple of scuffs on the underside since I've owned the car but they're not visible under normal operation, so it didn't really bug me, but now that I'm perfecting the interior I'd like to replace it.

I don't think you can order just the bottom, your best bet is to plastidip yours since it's not really visible anyways

I didn't touch my control arms when doing the oil pan gasket.

How did you do yours, did you cut it?

Gawd I hate you can order one piece and not the other. Guess I have a brand new one for sale.

I hate you can't even order the assembly.

No cutting. Check my imola project thread.

I was in the same boat. Only option was to find a used armrest in good condition or buy a brand new complete assembly with the leather armrest.

Yeah my problem is when I have it set to the right to go down when I'm in reverse it is not calibrated correctly and points way too far down. I pressed my memory seat button this morning on the way to work I'll see if that solves the issue. I just installed my Colby wheel and had to disconnect my battery I was hoping this was going to solve the problem but it didn't hmmm.

By default, it tilts alllllllllll the way down when it dips the mirror. It can be adjusted, but only if you enable that feature via coding. Otherwise, it's all the way down or disabled, no in between.

I coded mine so I could adjust how far it dips. If this is the only problem you're having, it's not actually a problem; it's working as designed.

Can you please provide details on what you coded? I can't stand it tilting so far down. Useless that low, IMO
